Here's the deal. This coming spring I'm going to Paris. I'm all a-twitter. Now I'm looking to get myself a camcorder for this trip. The problem is that I don't know which ones are the best, which bells and whistles I want and all that good stuff. Now comes the ultimatum. If I don't find a good camcorder for my vacation I will be forced to take pictures. If I have to take pictures I'm going to get each photo turned into a slide. I will then purchase a slide projector and each and every one of you will be forced to watch my slide show. There won't just be pictures of the cool stuff I do either. I plan on dedicating some shots to the various parts of my hotel room, the bathroom, the pharmacy, the toilet paper and other things that no one cares about. This slide show will be so long that you'll wish you'd brought a snack. There will be no breaks. So, either help me, or suffer the consequences.

With a lot of pics you can tell many different stories just by rearranging and reselecting from the pile, with a movie you are pretty much fixed unless you have elaborate editing capability.
It took two E3 (or something) kits to fill a 4 X 5 tank, and the Mountain School paid for it, although I think the Camera Shop gave them a deal. Probably did me no good handling that much chemicals, but it was worth it.
